MMAmania's Brian Hemminger takes a look at Friday night's Bellator 65 main card which features a bantamweight title fight and three tournament bouts in the featherweight and 135 pound divisions.
Robert Drysdale draws Ike Villanueva in his Legacy Fighting Championship debut. Also on tap is Macaco's lightweight debut for the vacant title against Jesus Rivera.
MMAmania's Brian Hemminger speaks with Bellator bantamweight champion Zach Makovsky about his thoughts on the tournament field which holds his next title challenger.
In the main event of the evening, reigning Bellator featherweight champion Joe Warren defeated WEC and Shooto veteran Marcos Galvao via unanimous decision in a non-title affair. Unfortunately, the commissioned judges gave the fight to the wrong fighter, robbing Galvao of an impressive performance and putting the decision up for consideration as robbery of the year.
Bellator 41 comes complete with two featherweight semifinal matchups and featherweight champ Joe Warren fighting Marcos Galvao at a 137-pound catchweight.
Join us on Saturday, April 16 for Bellator 41, airing live on MTV2 at 9:00 PM ET from the Cocopah Resort and Casino in Yuma, Arizona. The event will feature the semifinal round of the Bellator season four featherweight tournament, pitting Patricio Freire against Wilson Reis while Daniel Straus battles Kenny Foster.
Bellator 41 takes place at the Cocopah Resort and Casino in Somerton, AZ, where the official weigh-ins and pre-fight press conference have just been conducted.
Chad Robichaux is ready to become the first fighter to beat a Bellator champion in a "superfight" when he faces bantamweight champ Zach Makovsky this weekend at Bellator 41.
